United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"[It] is more impressive than entertaining"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The stars of this movie are Ken Adam, the art director, and Derek Meddings, in charge of special effects. In addition to the gigantic space station, they provide lots of little touches (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"The point where the Moore era lost complete touch with its Fleming-Connery origins and took flight into the preposterous. Still, there are some glorious pleasures here (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Nick Hilditch BBC	"Frivolous, yes, but never dull (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
